PJ Gorge Day 2
Sun. July 23
Didn't get much sleep for the night. Woke up from the rays of the sun beating down on our tent.
Getting mohawks down at the Gorge.
BBQed some food and lounged around for a bit.
We then drove down to the Columbia River for a quick swim. The view was spectacular.
Got back to the campsite and still had a few hours to kill before the show. It was super hot the whole day, with the temperature at around 110*F, so we tried our best to stay in the shade.
We entered the venue early this time and relaxed for a bit before Pearl Jam hit the stage. They opened the show with Severed Hand as the sun was still shining bright. We couldn't help but still smile while trying to dodge the glare of the sun.....after all, we were at the most beautiful venue seeing one of the best live bands around.
Highlights for me included Animal, Do The Evolution, Rats, Jeremy, Spin The Black Circle, and Crazy Mary. Eddie did a solo version of I Won't Back Down to open the first encore. Big Wave and Comatose sounded great from the new album. Eddie appeared on the roof of the sound mixer once again this night to sing Given To Fly. He also sang on Little Wing this time around.
The show wasn't as strong overall as the night before, but it was still good and very enjoyable nonetheless. As Mike played the Star Spangled banner at the end, it looked like they were gonna perform one more song after that with Eddie remaining onstage talking to Stone. Not sure what was said but after Mike finished the song, the guys took their bows and called it a night.
Set lasted 2hrs 30mins.

Got back to the campsite and hung out to enjoy the last night of the tour. We got in a circle and shared stories of the band, of our travels, and of ourselves. It was pretty special.
After that, we went on some more drunken wanderings that included human barrel rolling, crashing campsite parties, and other sorts of activities.
It was an early departure the next morning. I had about 2hrs of sleep for the night so I floated in and out of consciousness at points during the day. We had the ceremonial check mark of the last date of the tour, then it was time for all of us to head home.
